>I guess the only thing stopping FS9 aircraft from working in>FSX are any>older FS98 style gauges in their panel. Looks like XML only>gauges.No, any gauges except FS98 style C gauges... FSk2k, FS9 and FSX C gauges work just fine, in addition to XML gauges.This was asked and answered last week, same channel... ;)

>Obviously aircraft go into the SimObjects sub folder now, no>more Aircraft... ;)Why not? All you would have to do is change your FSX.cfg file:[Main]User Objects=Airplane, HelicopterSimObjectPaths.0=SimObjectsAirplanesto[Main]User Objects=Airplane, HelicopterSimObjectPaths.0=Aircraft(I think)Which, if some wise developer decides, could write up a batch file to start up FSX with different FSX.cfg (or change the cfg on the fly) so that a developer can have different "airplane" folders for pleasure, and development.....

Fr. Bill - I like this suggestion even better - and it works like a charm!I popped over one of my FSDS builds into the "Aircraft" folder and it works beautifully. The added models show up at the end of the list.
